CLEAN
ENERGY FUTURE FUND — GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
198. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
Announced in April 2020, the McGowan
government's $19 million clean energy future fund states it will
support innovative clean energy projects in Western Australia, which will offer
high public value through contributing to one or more of the following outcomes:
significant, cost-effective reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below
projected or baseline emissions as a direct result of the clean energy project;
design, deployment, testing or demonstration of innovative clean energy
projects likely to deliver community outcomes or lead to broad adoption and
significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
(1) In the almost
two years since it was announced, how many tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
has the CEFF reduced?
(2) What is the
projected lifetime greenhouse gas emission reductions of the two projects
publicly funded by the CEFF?
(3) What is the cost per tonne or CO2
equivalent of these emissions reductions from these two projects?
